Tbo militrry organ cloos not want
a plebesoile in Hawaii
We are told that tho managerial
intelligence of Hawaii has ruled
rules and will rulo or a consider
ation hero as everywhere Would
it not bo well for the management
of our contemporary who oppose a
plebescite to come out openly and
aay that the opposition to Mr Dole
and hisfunny republic is at present
not kept down through tbo mana
gerial intelligence of the crow who
through tho
Government stole n country but
simply checked by a high sense of
honor which prevents them kicking
tho managerial intelligence into
Hades
The Star uses th following words
in advocating its intolligeueo iu the
opposition towards a plobetcite
There may be some dissension and
some discord and -some honest dif
ference of opinion as to methods or
detail but tho operative and in
evitable principle remains the same
It is unchanged sinco the white in
vader supplanted tho red mm in tho
North American continent mice the
British assumed control in India in
South Africa and in Egypt The
principle was the naine boforo the
Ohmlian period began
Tho vnguo expressions of Mr
Totvse are Bomowhat dithoult to
comprehend White men wo aro
told rulod hero sinco tho be
ginning of the century Tboir su
promaoy in financial and politi
cal aud social affairs have- never
been disputed jot Tho time has
simply arrived to iiuJ out who tho
foreigners are into whoso oaro tho
Hawaiiaus will trust tboir future
Mr Towso aud tho friends who yet
stand with him in fighting the truly
republican method of calling a pub
lio vote by opposing a plobosoito
may know ovorything in regard to
tho principles in vogue prior to the
Christian period If wo aro cor
rootly informod ovon CI rist was
crucified during tho period reforrod

That tho Government of Hawaii
would listen to tho proposition of
holding of a plebiscite was nevor
expected Public sentiment is not

TO MHKX SHOilTY
A short while ago a Honolulu
correspondent to tho San Francisco
Chrouinlo nlatod that tho backbono
of tho opposition to Mr Doles re
publlo was brokon through tho
doath of Joseph K Nawahi Tho
Hawaiiaus shod tears at the doath
of Mr Nawahi They deplored tho
loss of a good patriotic friond J3ut
tho opposition agaiuat Mr Dole and
his republic remained as solid ai
ever
On tho 28th iuot dolegatos
from all tho branches of tho Pa
triotic League will moot in Honolulu
to elect a Prosidcut of tho Hui
Aloha Aina in tho place of tho lato
Joseph Nawahi Everyone familiar
with Hawaii will understand that
the sentiments against annexation
can nevor bo ohaugod or altered
oven if tho loudest and best ad
vocates of tho Hawaiiaus mibmit to
tho grim roapor Thorn aro as many
good loyal and steadfast Havsaiians
yet in tho laud of tho living as thoro

triotic league tho groat Hawaiian
opposition to tho republic may have
lost ouo good soldier but Hiiieo then
numerous true young FTawaiiaus
grow into manhood and who suc
cessfully will fill tho pltco of the
departed leader Tho hatred of the
Hawaiians towards their piesout op

The result of Mr Thrums mock
polling yesterday shows that out of
518 votes of foreignors Mr Me Kin

annexation rocoivod but 313 votes
There wore 235 persons of foreign
blood then who do not desire annex
ation When Hawaiians of full
mixed and white blwod havo a
chanco for a sure enough vote Mr
Dole and his friends will havo that
tired feeling agaiu
Tho polling at Mr Thrums is an
indication of tho iulluonco of tho
churches aud tho W C T U in this
community The prohibitionist re
ceived 9 votes out of 518 oaU
Now Mr Dole and his
against tho peace and quiet
of Hawaii urge that annexation must

come a dependency of Japauj that
despite all that tho best govern

To porsons of sonsilivo con

annotisinc Tho fixtures are of w
nickel and around tho tub if

rim which ndds to tho finish
Tho prico of tho bath without
tho rim is 40 and with it 45
As to sizo it is a 5 feot bath and
unusually deep In fact it is a
boauty
Another very convoniont spo
